Free energy consultations during office hours in January and February
Throughout January and early February, energy coaches from the municipality West Maas en Waal will be holding West Maas en Waal energy consultation sessions. Each session will take place in a different village. Residents of the municipality West Maas en Waal visit these sessions without an appointment and with no obligation to purchase anything to receive personalized energy advice.
During consultation hours, the energy coaches answer questions about energy conservation, insulation, heating, ventilation, and reducing energy bills. Whether you’re looking for small, immediate steps or planning for the long term, the energy coaches are happy to help.

What does an energy coach do?
An energy coach is a well-trained volunteer from the Energieloket West Maas en Waal helps residents save energy in their homes. The coach works with the resident to assess the home and its energy consumption. The resident receives practical tips tailored to their personal situation. These include simple adjustments such as sealing drafts and using radiator foil, as well as advice on insulation or using heating and appliances more efficiently.
Alderman van den Boom: “Everyone wants to keep their energy costs under control, especially these days. The work of our energy coaches is incredibly valuable. They help residents in an accessible way and share their knowledge selflessly. I therefore urge residents to take full advantage of this consultation hour.”
Even small changes make a noticeable difference
By saving energy, residents not only lower their energy bills, but also improve the comfort of their homes. With today’s energy prices, even a small change can make a noticeable difference in monthly costs.
What makes this initiative unique is that the energy coaches do this work in their free time. They volunteer their time to West Maas en Waal fellow residents of West Maas en Waal by West Maas en Waal free and independent advice.
